Live the Mission Via An International Service-Immersion Experience

by | Sep 28, 2011 | Faculty, Staff

The Office of Campus Ministry invites Canisius faculty and staff to live the college mission through an international service-immersion experience.  Faculty and staff can join Canisius students to travel to El Salvador, Poland, Jamaica, Ecuador and India in order to work with and learn from the poor and marginalized.  Canisius College distinguishes itself by offering transformative learning experiences that engage students in a global society, and these trips are great examples of that.


Margaret Stefanski, PhD (back row, center right), associate professor of Spanish, modern languages, literatures and cultures, recently traveled with the 2011 Ecuador team.

To explore how to get involved, contact Lu Firestone in the Office of Campus Ministry at: firestol@canisius.edu.  Recent trips were featured in the summer 2011 edition of Canisius Magazine.  Read about them here.
